page 8, 7.0 - 7.6.x OS Software Compatibility List Updates , Update Information © 2016 Veritas Technologies LLC / 2016-09-30 Veritas NetBackup ™ Enterprise Server and Server 7.0 - 7.6.x OS Software Compatibility List Operating Systems Most operating system vendors provide patches and updates to their products. It is a best practice of NetBackup Quality Engineering to test with the latest service pack or patch level of the operating system when testing a platform. If a known problem exists on a specific service pack or patched OS level, this information is identified in the tables below. Any required operating system patches for specific releases of NetBackup are documented in the NetBackup Release Notes. The current patch versions of releases will work with NetBackup for the operating systems listed below unless otherwise noted. Veritas supports the standard un-altered kernel/operating system levels as indicated in the table, provided the OS Vendor still provides support for that level. Should an issue arise on a revised kernel, operating system, or virtual system environment, Veritas support may request the recreation of the problem with the standard operating environment distribution. NetBackup Vault: This option runs on the same operating systems and versions and in the same clustering environments as NetBackup unless otherwise noted in the NetBackup Release Notes. NetBackup restrictions and limitations related to systems, clusters, and peripherals also apply to Vault. Exception: Vault does not support standalone drives. Data at Rest Key Management Service (KMS): This feature is a master server-based symmetric key management service that manages symmetric cryptography keys for tape drives that conform to the T10 standard (i.e. LTO4). Beginning in NetBackup 6.5.2, KMS is supported on all OS versions where the master server and media server are supported unless otherwise noted. Support Definitions: Veritas Maintenance/Support only applies to Veritas Licensed Software, assuming you have a current Veritas Maintenance/Support subscription for such software and such Veritas Licensed Software is operating in configurations which Veritas designates as supported. Veritas Maintenance/Support does not cover (and we have no responsibility for) providing technical support, installation services or other services for any other software or hardware products. Also, Veritas is not obligated to provide Maintenance/Support when your Veritas Licensed Software is operating in configurations Veritas does not designate as supportable/supported. Please see the current Veritas Technical Support Policy and your Veritas license agreement for more information, terms and limitations. Supported Configurations: For more information about technical notes in regards to Veritas supported configurations (such as operating system/levels, firmware levels, databases, devices, device drivers, applications, etc.), please refer to the Veritas Support website

page 70, Clustered Master Server Storage Stacks © 2016 Veritas Technologies LLC / 2016-09-30 Veritas NetBackup ™ Enterprise Server and Server 7.0 - 7.6.x OS Software Compatibility List Compatibility between NetBackup versions Veritas maintains a policy by which NetBackup can deliver various release levels to accommodate customer needs. The NetBackup family of software and appliance products uses the following release types and version number schemes: • A major release is the first in a series of releases. This release type contains new features, enhancements, platform support, and a complete set of the latest product documentation. • A minor release is a single-dot release that follows a major release, for example 2.7 or 7.7. This release type contains much of the same requirements as a major release. It contains a smaller set of new features and enhancements, new platform support, and a complete set of the latest product documentation. • A software update release is a double-dot release, for example 2.7.1 or 7.7.1. This release type may contain a few new features and enhancements along with many product fixes. Only those documents that are applicable to the new features or enhancements are updated and republished. • A maintenance release is a triple-dot release, for example 2.7.0.2 or 7.7.0.2. This release type is primarily comprised of a number of fixes that are developed to address issues in major, minor, and software update releases. It may also contain a small number of new features, enhancements, and platform support. The only documentation that is provided for this release type is a readme text file and a new version of the NetBackup Release Notes. Both files are online-only and are made available on the Veritas Support website. For compatibility between major versions, the latest available release of NetBackup is compatible with media servers and clients that run a release of NetBackup that is up to one major version behind. However, this compatibility ceases to be supported in any configuration once the previous major version has reached its End of Support Life. NetBackup does not support any scenario where a media server or client runs a minor release version or software release update version that is higher than that of their Master server. For more information, refer to the NetBackup Release Notes and the NetBackup Upgrade Guide:

Other general rules for major, minor, and release update compatibility: • OpsCenter/OpsCenter Analytics must always be running the same or higher major, minor, release update or maintenance patch as the master servers in the environment. • All components (master, media, client, console, and agent) on an individual system must be at the same version. • Backup images created under an older version of NetBackup will always be recoverable with a newer version of NetBackup • A new feature may not be functional until the master, media and client are updated. • Administration Consoles cannot be at an earlier version than the NetBackup server version they connect to via the "change server" functionality in the console

page 74, Deduplication Supported Operating Systems © 2016 Veritas Technologies LLC / 2016-09-30 Veritas NetBackup ™ Enterprise Server and Server 7.0 - 7.6.x OS Software Compatibility List File System Compatibility NetBackup supports backing up file data on all POSIX compliant file systems. The table below represents the platform configurations that have been tested for compatibility with ACLs and other extended attributes. Unless otherwise noted in the table below, ACLs and other extended attributes are not supported.
NetBackup has improved its integration with the Veritas File System (VxFS) product to ensure interoperability on all compatible VxFS versions. If you run a VxFS version that is older than VxFS 4.0 then you need to install new VxFS libraries on the client to back up the systems that run VxFS. You can search and download the appropriate VxFS libraries to your system from Patch Central on the Veritas Support Web site. See,

SAN style backups via SAN Media Server SAN media servers are NetBackup media servers that back up their own data. SAN media servers cannot back up data that resides on other clients. SAN media servers are useful for certain situations. For example, a SAN media server is useful if the data volume consumes so much network bandwidth that it affects your network negatively. • Enables LAN-free data protection with high performance access to shared resources. • Can share tape resources with NetBackup Master and Media Servers. • Can only back itself up, not other clients. • Software is installed stand-alone on each cluster node and linked to the virtual host via an application cluster. • When you define a backup policy for a SAN media server, add only the SAN media server as the client. • The NetBackup Shared Storage Option is able to use NetBackup SAN media servers. • There is no platform restriction regarding SAN Media Servers - any Media Server can be a SAN Media Server. The only difference is in the license authentication mechanism. Application and DB Agents are supported with the SAN Media Server. SAN style backups via SAN Client A NetBackup SAN client is a NetBackup client on which the Fibre Transport service is activated. The SAN client is similar to the SAN media server that is used for the Shared Storage Option; it backs up its own data. However, the SAN client is based on the smaller NetBackup client installation package, so it has fewer administration requirements and uses fewer system resources. • It connects to a NetBackup media server over Fibre Channel. • The NetBackup SAN Client Fibre Transport Service manages the connectivity and the data transfers for the FT pipe on the SAN clients. The SAN client FT service also discovers FT target mode devices on the NetBackup media servers and notifies the FT Service Manager about them. • Requires SAN connectivity with a Media Server running Fibre Transport Services (reference additional information below in regards to the FT Media Server).
SAN client does not support the following types of backup: • SharePoint • Enterprise Vault • Exchange DAG or CCR backups through a passive node of an Exchange cluster • All other application and database agents are supported with the SAN Client.
Note: SAN client does support the use of FlashBackup but all restores from FlashBackup backups will use the LAN connection, not the SAN connection. SAN client and NetBackup Deduplication • SAN Client is a NetBackup optional feature that provides high speed backups and restores of NetBackup clients. Fibre Transport is the name of the NetBackup high-speed data transport method that is part of the SAN Client feature. The backup and restore traffic occurs over a SAN. • SAN clients can be used with the deduplication option; however, the deduplication must occur on the media server, not the client. Configure the media server to be both a deduplication storage server (or load balancing server) and an FT media server. The SAN client backups are then sent over the SAN to the deduplication server/FT media server host. At that media server, the backup stream is deduplicated. • Do not enable client deduplication on SAN Clients. The data processing for deduplication is incompatible with the high-speed transport method of Fibre Transport. Client-side deduplication relies on two-way communication over the LAN with the media server. A SAN client streams the data to the FT media server at a high rate over the SAN.
page 90, SAN Media Server/SAN Client/FT Media Server © 2016 Veritas Technologies LLC / 2016-09-30 Veritas NetBackup ™ Enterprise Server and Server 7.0 - 7.6.x OS Software Compatibility List FT Media Server A NetBackup FT media server is a NetBackup media server on which the Fibre Transport services are activated. NetBackup FT media servers accept connections from SAN clients and send data to the disk storage. The host bus adapters (HBAs) that accept connections from the SAN clients use a special NetBackup target mode driver to process FT traffic. The media server FT service controls data flow, processes SCSI commands, and manages data buffers for the server side of the FT pipe. It also manages the target mode driver for the host bus adaptors. Reference the HCL document Fibre Transport Media Server HBAs section for supported Operating Systems and HBAs.http://www.veritas.com/docs/000040791
page 91, SAN Media Server/SAN Client/FT Media Server © 2016 Veritas Technologies LLC / 2016-09-30 Veritas NetBackup ™ Enterprise Server and Server 7.0 - 7.6.x OS Software Compatibility List NetBackup Search NetBackup Search provides a mechanism to index the file system metadata that is associated with backup images. That makes searching for relevant information simple, powerful, and fast. Once information is found, the user can take actions based on that information. NetBackup Search provides a robust legal hold mechanism which ensures that images relevant to a legal case are not inadvertently deleted or allowed to expire based on retention levels.
Note: NetBackup Search is a licensable feature.
The following capabilities are a part of this feature: * Advanced search capabilities enable you to find relevant information faster with the following advanced search capabilities: * Save and edit search queries for legal traceability. * Robust solution for legal hold management. * Legal holds provide a mechanism to override existing retention levels to ensure that the backup images (and associated media) are retained until the legal proceeding is complete. * Hold reports in OpsCenter provide insight into size of legal hold and length of time of the associated holds. * Indexing server migration and rebuild of indices is supported.
The following deployment scenarios are supported for NetBackup Search with NetBackup 7.5 and later: * Indexing server: The NetBackup indexing server can be stand-alone(installed on NetBackup Client) or can be installed on media server. The NetBackup indexing server is supported only on Windows 2008 R2 (x64) and Windows 2012(x64) systems. * Search user interface: The NetBackup Search user interface (UI) is installed as part of Veritas OpsCenter 7.5 and later. No separate installation is needed. * Holds management: The NetBackup holds management software is installed as part of a NetBackup 7.5 and later Master Server. No separate installation is needed. * Clustered environments: You can run NetBackup Search in a NetBackup or OpsCenter clustered environment by adding the node names in bp.conf on UNIX/Linux or in the Windows registry. Reference the NetBackup Administrator's Search Guide for additional information
EOL NOTIFICATION The NetBackup Search feature will no longer be supported in NetBackup 7.7.

Ideally, every NetBackup configuration supported in a traditional physical environment would also be supported in any virtual environment without qualification. While that is our mission, it is not always possible.
Therefore, the purpose of this document is to: • Clarify differences between NetBackup support in physical vs. virtual environments • Describe general guidelines for support in virtual environments • Describe impact upon specific NetBackup components: clients, servers, options, etc. • Provide references to related information VMware Compatibility
